This is but one of many, many evidences that support the truth of evolution - that make it a “sacred fact” that Christians must embrace in the name of truth. And they should embrace this truth with enthusiasm, for this is the world that God created.

Christians must come to welcome - rather than fear - the ideas of evolution. Truths about Nature are sacred, for they speak of our Creator. Such truths constitute “God’s second book” for Christians to read alongside the Bible.

In the 17th century, Galileo used the metaphor of the “two books” to help Christians of his generation understand the sacred truth that the earth moves about the sun.“The Bible,” he liked to say,“tells us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens ago.”

To understand how the heavens go we must read the book of Nature, not the Bible.

The Book of nature reveals the truth that God created the world through gradual processes over billions of years, rather than over the course of six days, as many creationists believe.

Evolution does not contradict the Bible unless you force an unreasonable interpretation on that ancient book.

To suppose, as the so-called young earth creationists do, that God dictated modern scientific ideas to ancient and uncomprehending scribes is to distort the biblical message beyond recognition. Modern science was not in the worldview of the biblical authors and it is not in the Bible.

Science is not a sinister enterprise aimed at destroying faith. It’s an honest exploration of the wonderful world that God created.

We are often asked to think about what Jesus would do, if he lived among us today. Who would Jesus vote for? What car would he drive?

To these questions we should add “What would Jesus believe about origins?”

And the answer? Jesus would believe evolution, of course. He cares for the Truth.

Most atheists in the U.S. know the Bible much better than most Christians. They have sought. They are also aware of possible traps, such as confirmation bias. The evidence does not seem to be out there.

<quoted text>the proof is in the total lack of any verifiable evidence of any magic.

the proof your cult god is a myth is the impossiblity of the god your cult describes ever existing as stated. your cult even contradicts itself about it's own god. he is infallible, yret changes his mind often. he performed a creation event that didn't happen that way. he lies to his people when that god is supposedly above lying.

What is the most recent and most accurate poll on the percentage of atheists again? You know you were lying when you posted your source. You broke rule number one for creatards, that prove you not only lied but that you know that you lied. In the 2012 Pew Poll the number of atheists and agnostics was up to 6%. If you add in the 14% who have no religious faith that number is 20%.

A 2010 survey published in Encyclopedia Britannica found that is atheists at about 2.0%.

Another study assessing religiosity among scientists who are members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science found that "just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power.

Sociologist Philip Schwadel found that higher levels of education are associated with increased religious participation and religious practice in daily life.

According to a 2012 report by the Pew Research Center, people describing themselves as "atheist" were 2% of the total population in the US.

persecution. A 2006 study by researchers at the University of Minnesota involving a poll of 2,000 households in the United States found atheists to be the most distrusted of minorities,

In 2012, an article entitled Atheism in decline by Nigel Tomes declared:

In 1970 atheists (those avowing there is no God) numbered 166 million worldwide; that was almost one-in-twentyâ€”4.5% of the globeâ€™s population. By 2012 atheistsâ€™ number is estimated at 137 million. Thatâ€™s a decline of almost 30 million. Since world population is growing, atheistsâ€™ share declined to less than one-in-fiftyâ€”under 2% in 2012. Put differently, every 24 hours there are 800 fewer atheists in the world! Atheism is in decline.

Evolution has not one iota of evidence - none, zilch, nadda.It would take more faith to believe in evolution than God - if you guys would just stop and think about it.

Look for the book "Why Evolution is True" by Jerry Coyne in your local library. His book totally refutes what you are saying here and shows you step by step how evolution is working, and has been working, for over 3 billion years, here on earth.

You are doing nothing but repeating stuff you read on Christian sites.

<quoted text>I am aware that men commit sins with that scripture. However I don't worship men or church. When the Bible is talking about stoning witches it's talking about real practicing witches in the very real occult. Witches that burnt their children to death in sacrifices to Satan.Your argument is like claiming stop signs should be removed because so many accident happen around them.

You need to see and accept that the so called 'witches' of the Dark Ages were not baby killers. Baby killing/burning was essentially a thing that happened pre-Christ,the witch hunts that we are talking about was from about 600 to 900 AD and was initiated by the Church.

The Church thought that there actually was real witches (we know of course that in truth there are NO real witches) and they started killing. It was a VERY shameful thing the Church did, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people, mostly women, died.

And for the record there are no real witches, real witches defined as someone who has supernatural powers. NO one has EVER had supernatural powers in the Looooong history of mankind.
